The judge in the Stevie Marie Vigil case justified the shamefully light sentence by saying there was no evidence that Vigil knew or could have predicted Evan Ebel’s planned use of the gun she obtained for him. Yeah, sure. Vigil was shocked, simply shocked that Ebel, a violent felon, used the weapon in the commission of more felonies. Who could have predicted that? She probably thought he wanted a 9mm handgun for squirrel hunting.
